I totally agree. I don't want a "Simplified" game. I like games that actually have some depth to them and games where it's actually a challenge to beat the AI. For instance, I liked the controls in 2K8 because they have a bit of learning curve and it took atleast a little while to master the pitching, fielding, and batting compared to other baseball games.

If they are really going to simplify the controls, then I hope they atleast give us options to turn the advanced controls on for those who want more a challenging experience.
